Just a short Public Service Announcement for our users, particularly the ones who like their Homebrew on Nintendo platforms. The Homebrew community tends to be positive and participating in it is a recipe for a good time, but no group of people is free of bad actors with too much time on their hands. We have reason to believe that in the near future we'll see a lot of suspicious uploads of innocent-looking applications that are actually concealed console brickers and viruses. We came across a disconcerting threat against our site, among others, made by a Wii malware creator.

The safety of our users is our number one priority, so we strongly urge forum-goers to be weary of applications uploaded to the site recently, particularly if they come from relatively new accounts. We apologise for this inconvenience, but sadly there is little we can do besides staying vigilant and dealing swiftly with any and all suspicious content.

Stay safe, and keep on Tempin'!

Thanks for sharing info.

The NES can run homebrew too

Yeah, but it's not like you can brick anything that came before the N64.

There is a homebrew app that simulates a Windows 98 on the NES, ive used it one time and it was pretty cool.
There isnt much of homebrew apps for the NES (more so bootlegs), which is understandable and sad at the same time.

You sure that wasn't just that chinese win98 famicom bootleg rom?

 

[Alex4nder001]

Will this brick the consoles of emuNAND users too? Or will it just destroy their emuNAND and not their physical NAND?

 

[Stealphie]

Yeah, but it's not like you can brick anything that came before the N64.

Yeah, turns out if you run that rom on the famicom, you can use the famicom keyboard!

 

[Stealphie]

Wow!

 

[digipimp75]

Wow, what assholes. I was going to dust off my ol' Wii and update the softmod. Guess I'll refrain for the time being lol.

The original website (containing a timer) and the creators GitHub account is not online anymore. Looks like a pretty dumb troll to me.

I had an similar thing happen to me.
I had a Animal Crossing Wild World copy, i was playing online then some as***** was using one debug item, which, if you placed enough of these, the game would crash, then he proceeded to put so many in my city, and then crashed, so, i turned off my ds, and turned it on, opened the game, and it crashed, in the title screen.
It was a bad time (insert megalovania here)

That's pretty scummy. It's a good thing you can just delete a corrupt save file like that, it'd suck to have your cartridge permanently in glitch limbo.

Yeah, but i lost the cartdrige one day, with some 30 amiibos and wii/wiiu games.

amiibo? amiibo weren't around during Wild World. You must be thinking about New Leaf.

F in chat for people's Wiis that got hit with this.

Sad that people are making brickers to try and ruin people's systems.
